Image: Ah, it's only for today, though, and only if you accept right now! Do you want to go, Hicchan?

I start wondering if this is some kind of trap. Is this Misha's suggestion or Shizune's? This is important. I'm still a little apprehensive about the possible motives of a girl whose favorite pastime is the game of world domination.

No, I'm just being paranoid. Actually, they have grown on me already, and I do have to go to town sometime. So why not now, with them?

I've never actually been to a teahouse before. All my expectations are from what I've seen about them on TV. But those are period dramas, and these are modern times. It might just be a regular café, and they're just calling it a teahouse.

Either way, I'm curious about that, too, so there's another reason for me to join them.

Image: Sure.

Image: That's great, Hicchan~! That's great, that's great! Yay~!

Misha hops up and down briefly to show how happy she is, which causes a few heads to turn towards us. Shizune opts for a polite, tiny clap that lasts for all of two seconds before she goes back to looking stoic as usual.

Image: Would it kill you to be a little happier,

Image: ...?

Image: Oh? I wasn't aware that Hicchan was a king. Hahahaha~!

Shizune pushes her glasses up as Misha delivers her message totally without sarcasm. I guess it would sting more if she could say it with the intent Shizune meant behind it, so for once I'm happy to have Misha as a barrier between us.

Image: I'm not telling you to jump for joy just because I'm having lunch with you. I'm not that arrogant.

-

BGM - Afternoon

Watching her walk in front of me, I notice that she walks very quickly, taking long, heavy, determined strides.

Or Nazi goosestepping.

Maybe if we were traveling through a snowstorm, it would make sense to walk like that, but it's a perfectly clear day. Anyway, it's making me feel exhausted just watching her.

We arrive at the teahouse in what Misha says is record time, likely because of Shizune's blazing pace. I feel a little let down seeing that it's not a huge feudal-era building with mats on the floor and women in kimonos pouring the tea.

It actually is more like a café, as I thought. Not that it's a bad thing. It looks very nice.

As soon as I walk through the doors, someone zooms in front of us, as if they had been lying in wait the entire time.

Image: HNNNNGH!!! maybe.

Image: Welcome! Thank you for patronizing this establishment!

The top half of her body drops forward in a bow that looks like an axe chopping through wood.

I'm surprised to see it's none other than Yuuko, the librarian.

Image: Hey, I didn't know you worked here. Sorry for patronizing you

Image: Oh yes, I do. I'm a waitress I've been working here for one year, six months, and two weeks now Thank you for choosing to come here, is there anything I can do for you?

Image: Hi, Yuu-chan~!

Image: Hello.

Image: Misha, you both know her too?

Image: Of course, Hicchan~! Yuu-chan works in the library, after all~! I don't go there often myself, but Shicchan knows her! And~!, we both come here a lot, so it's like we see her all the time!

Image: Um! Yes! Should I get you your usuals? And if there is anything you would want, please feel free to tell me at any time.

Image: You don't have to be so formal, we all know each other.

It's also pretty empty today, so she can afford to take it easy.

I was hoping she would stop looking so nervous, but my words have the opposite effect.

Image: No I'm a waitress, this is my job, I have to do it properly.

Image: ...

Image: Okay, okay~! That works for Shicchan! Yuu-chan, please get Shicchan what she usually gets, and I'll have some green tea with milk and honey.

Image: No pressure.

Image: Um, yes but this is my job, and there is always pressure. I'm sorry, I'm arguing with a customer Sorry! Sorry, sorry!

Yuuko takes another hundred-mile-per-hour bow. Fortunately, the wind from her bows is nothing like the hyper-sonic whipcrack that Hanako could unleash on command. I decide to give up and join Shizune and Misha at a table.

As soon as I sit down, Yuuko comes by looking even more upset than before.

Image: I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry, I forgot to take your order I'm not attentive to customers, that's not right I'm sorry If there is anything I can do to make up for it, please tell me

Image: ...

Image

It's true. I guess I should order now, but I don't really know what this place serves, and there doesn't seem to be a menu.

Image: Yeah, she's right. I'll have some coffee, and a sandwich, if you have one. Whichever sandwich you think is the best tasting one here, because Shizune is paying for my meal.

Image: ... frowns and gives me alternating looks of surprise, indignation, and bemusement, unable to decide between the three.

Image: ...

Image: :errg

Image: Hicchan, just how much money do you have in your wallet? It can't be that little, right?, right? We should split the cost three ways, to make it fair~! Yeah, I won't accept anything else~!

Misha turns to Yuuko.

Image: Yuu-chan, Shicchan says she wants three of whatever is the most expensive item on the menu~.

Image: No!

Image: Hahaha~! Just kidding, Hicchan

Image: Um okay, I think that the turkey sandwhich is the most delicious sandwich And it comes with free soup A good employee would try to recommend the item that there is the most of, though or the most expensive item

Image: Am I bad at my job?

Image: No! That sounds good, I'll have that. And some coffee.

Image: Okay.

She comes back a few minutes later with our drinks and my sandwich. Shizune seems to be fine with just her tea, while Misha also ordered a parfait. I don't know why, because I can't imagine many other things that would go worse with tea.

Oh well. I take a bite out of my sandwich. It's very good.

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, have you thought about joining the Student Council?

Image: Huh?

BGM - Generic happy music

Image: ...

Image: Don't talk with your mouth full, Hicchan

I wash my food down with a sip of coffee, which is also surprisingly good. But now's not the time to remark on how this place has good food.

Image: You said you understood it was too early to expect me to make a decision this quickly! That was like three hours ago!

Image: ...

Image: A man should be decisive, Hicchan!

Image: ...

Image: You really should join the Student Council, Hicchan. Come on, it'll be fun!

Image: People always say 'come on, it'll be fun' about things that are never, ever fun.

Like this one time when I became a defense attorney...

Image: ...

Image: Don't you believe me, Hicchan?

Is it Shizune saying that or Misha? What a cute expression; but the effect is somewhat jarring, like she has split personalities.

Image: Uh...

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, that's depressing. We just want to spend time with you...

Image: ...

Image: That's right, Shicchan! Yeah, that's a good point too!

Image: ...

Image: Yup, this is beneficial to everyone, it solves all our problems~.

Image: ...

Image: Yeah, I also thought Hicchan would appreciate it That makes me sad.

Suddenly I feel really left out.

Image: It's rude to talk about someone without letting them in the conversation.

Image: ... adjusts her glasses, laughing to herself.

Image: ...

Image: Aw, but it's true, Hicchan~! And you would be helping us out, membership has been really low this year.

Image: How low?

Image: Ah, that's a secret, Hicchan.

Image: No, I want to know how low it was. How low is 'low'?

Image: Ahaha

Image: Five?

Image: ...

Image: Lower?

Image: Well...

Image: Zero?

Image: ...

Image: Wahaha~! Hicchan, that isn't important. What matters is that the number is low, and that is why we would appreciate you giving us a hand, especially with the festival coming up so soon, and it looking to be a busy year ahead in general.

Image: So you're not going to answer my question?

Image: ...


Image: No~.

I sigh and straighten up in my chair, trying to look as defiant as possible, because this seems like a big issue and I do not want to let it go that easily. I feel silly, like a blowfish.

Image

Image: Fine, at least tell me this: How many people are in the Student Council? Total?

Image: ...

As I continue my questioning, I notice Shizune getting more and more glum.

Image: Warmer and warmer, I guess...

Image: Um, well, Hicchan, we're definitely undermanned, but we have enough members to get the job done. Yup, yup~!

*FLASHBACK*
Yup yup~


Image: It's not just the two of you, is it?

Image: Hahaha~! Hicchan, that's funny~!

Image: ...

Image: But~! It's definitely not just us.

Image: Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure?

Image: Yup~!

I stare at them both, trying to see if they will slip up and confirm my worst fears.

Misha frowns, looking uncomfortable, but that is probably because I'm staring at her.

Image: Shizune, on the other hand, returns my gaze with one of her own. Maybe she is challenging me, peering at me over the rims of her glasses like that. So teasing; and surprisingly immature, like a little girl beckoning someone to play with her.

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, your two cute student council representatives have been trying to make you feel welcome and are even treating you to lunch. You should show your gratitude by joining the council so you can at least help them out.

Image: Yeah, it would be great if you could just file some papers for us, and the festival is coming up, and we have to build some stalls for the games and food, just a few, so if you were there, it would be a lot easier for us...


Image: Please, Hicchan?

What an interesting good cop-bad cop routine.

I'll give it a shot. Why not?

Just a shot.

Image: Okay, I'll give it a trial run. It doesn't mean I'm joining, or anything definite, just that I'll help out a little, and then I'll see. And this makes us even for lunch, I'm not doing this because I want to.

Image: *TSUNDERES ALL OVER SHIZUNE*

I finish off the last of my sandwich, and this makes Misha notice for the first time in a while that she has a parfait. She starts digging in, much to Shizune's chagrin, because I can tell from the way she plays with her fingers that she had a lot to say.

Every time I look at Shizune, she looks back with such focus and intensity. This time is no exception. Her face is expressionless; maybe she is thinking. Eventually, it gives way to a smile.

Image: ...

She signs something, and obviously, I can't understand it at all. She has to know that. Then, she does it again, a childish playfulness showing through in the speed and energy of her gestures.

Image: ...

Image: Misha, what did she say?

Image: ?

Misha looks up from her parfait, torn between wanting to help out and going back to eating.

Image: What does this mean?

I try my best to make the same movements with my hands that Shizune did. I come to realize quickly that this isn't very easy. Imagine doing this all day, as your only means of communication.

Image: Hmm~ Sorry, Hicchan, I can't tell you.

Image: Why not? Is it an insult?

Image: No, Hicchan, I can't tell you because~!, it means something nice.

RAPE ALERT. RAPE ALERT.

Something nice, huh? Well, they've gone back to their tea and food, so I guess this conversation is over for now.

I don't really understand. But this makes me wish that I could. Maybe I could even try learning sign language. This school might have courses for it.

Would I really do that? I think about it as I finish the rest of my coffee. I wonder why I'd even be motivated to think about it.

I'm enjoying myself so much that I don't even notice that we were supposed to be back in class ten minutes ago.

Even if I were to start heading back to school right now, it would take at least thirty minutes? Maybe. I can't risk running fast with my condition, so it would take at least that long to get there.

Well, ten minutes late already as I am, it wouldn't matter even if I could teleport.

BGM - Hokabi

Image: Something wrong, Hicchan?

Image: I just realized lunch break ended ten minutes ago. It's only my third day, and I'm already going to miss a class.

Image: ...

Image: Yup~! You are already late.

Image: Hey, that's not funny, so are you! And aren't you two in the Student Council? You're setting a bad example.

Image: Hicchan is so moral.

Image: ...

Image: But~! Hicchan is right, he is late for class, and~ it looks like you're cutting too, Hicchan, because you're not making an effort to go.

Image: As your student council representatives, we're going to have to do something about this and make sure you're punished for it~!

Image: I KNEW IT! IT WAS A TARP! But you two dragged me out here, this is all your fault. Take responsibility!

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, we were just taking a prospective student council member out to try and recruit him. It's business, business~! But~! You're not a member of the council, so there's no excuse!

Image: Yes, there is. That prospective student council member is clearly me.

Image: ...


Image: Yes~! Are you going to join the Student Council, Hicchan?

Shizune raises her teacup haughtily and wags her outstretched pinky finger up and down.

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, if only you were a member of the Student Council But~! You can still join now, Hicchan! If you join now, you won't be in any trouble at all, and we'll be able to take many more nice excursions like this all the time! It'll be fun~!

I start to think that, maybe, this was all an elaborate set-up leading up to this moment. Maybe Shizune lured me out here, banking on the possibility that I'd lose track of time and be forced into this situation.

Diabolical. Well, considering what I know of her, I should have been more on my guard. But to admit that I got myself into this, even slightly, would be unforgivable.


Link


I try to read Shizune's intentions in her eyes, but she just returns my stare blankly. Innocently. She takes a sip of tea, like she is mocking me.

Image: ...

Image: By the way, Hicchan, I didn't plan this at all, things just happened to work out this way~!

I was almost about to drop my theory as paranoia, but this puts a new spin on things. I almost fall over in awe. So it really was an elaborate set up, from the very beginning, all just to burn me and force me to join the Student Council.

Image: ...

Image: Ahahahaha~! You look so nervous, Hicchan~! Did you really think we were tricking you this whole time?

Image: You're not?

Image: Hicchan, you really thought...?

Misha frowns, looking heartbroken. Shizune quickly frowns as well, following her lead. How synchronized. Two of a perfect pair. They must be twins, clones or hell, even lovers if this was a h-manga.

Image: ...

Image: Shicchan says she's flattered, Hicchan, but doing that kind of thing would be a grossly inappropriate abuse of power, and imposing on your free will~! And~! It would be blackmail, too! Shicchan would never do anything like that, never!

I think about asking Misha, Are you sure? but resist the urge to.

Image: ...

Image: Anyway, Hicchan, what Shicchan said is true. Since you're with us, and we're doing student council work, it's okay if we miss a class or two.

Image: ...

Image: Not that this is a good excuse to do so...

Image: ...


Image: Or one that should be used more than three times a month...

Image: ...

Image: Or something that can or should be abused...

Image: Which is what you're doing now, moron.

Image: ...

Image: So~! We must definitely, definitely return to class! Eventually~!

Image: Wahaha~!

Image: Third day in and I'm already a delinquent. Hey, Hanako. If you could see me now...

And with that, I yell...

[OBJECTION!]

I would have failed much earlier, I would have immediately tried to get in the girls pants. that always yields game over endings in these games, such a shame too.

YOU FLAMING PUSSY, YOU VOTED FOR HANZO FOR PRESIDENT ROUTE, DIDN'T YOU.

-

The courtroom rumbles as the observers chatter excitedly.

Prosecutor Shizune smiles and makes a mock-curtsy as she finishes her animated hand-signing. Misha, her assistant takes a deep breath as she finishes translating Shizune's signs, clearly worn out by the long speech.

I felt the sweat beads gather on my hairline as I tried to keep focus, and stay calm. I knew this case would not go down easy. Shizune is keeping a prim and proper facade, too. But I can see the mockery in her eyes. On the defendants badge, Hisao's innocence squirms, his head bowed in shame for having let himself into such a situation.

This wasn't over - not by a long shot. I still had that one piece of evidence the Student Council was never able to tamper with. Now was the time to use it; or else Hisao would forever be labeled as a delinquent thug...

I reached for my attache case, and pulled out the security tape from the tea shop. It was with a sick sense of satisfaction that I noticed Shizune's eyes widen with the realization that she had miscalculated... badly.

Image

Image: I have here, a recording of the security tape from the Shanghai Tea house... EVIDENCE, that Shizune and Misha knew that they were making my client late for class!

The courtroom falls silent, as the tape is shown in the projector.

*THUMP*

Shizune strikes the table, and starts signing wildly.

Image: ...!

Image: Ah, Shicchan! Wait!

Image: ...The prosecution wishes to enter a deal with the defense. We will dri- drop this case if you swear not to take this tape to the authorities!

Bingo. I look to my client, who narrows his eyes.

The signal meant 'push harder'.

Image: Rejected. How will that recompense my client of all the pain and humiliation this farce of justice has put him through?!

Image: ...!

Image: The prosecution rests. All we can do is treat him more drinks because our budget's almost dry...

Image: I suppose that is acceptable...

Shizune waves Yuuko over and points to her empty teacup, indicating that she wants another one, as Misha scrambles to finish her parfait so she can order something else. Maybe I should as well.

BGM - Hokabi

Image

Eventually, we do go back to school, and the rest of the day is business as usual. When classes are over, Shizune and Misha pack their bags and leave the room before me. Come to think of it, this is the first time they've left me alone.

It's strange, I almost miss them. The room empties quickly, and I'm the last one out the door.

When I try leaving the lobby, however, an arm lowers itself in front of me like a toll bridge gate, stopping me in my tracks.

Image: ...

Image: Oh, hi Shizune.

A pair of hands from behind cover my eyes, followed by a sharp burst of laughter.

BGM - The Student Council

Image: Hi, Hicchan~! Guess who!

Misha asks the question completely without sarcasm, meaning she doesn't think that I instantly knew it was her for many obvious reasons.

Image: I wonder who it could be? Well, it's definitely not Misha

Image: Hahaha~! It is!

Misha swings around to stand in front of me, beside Shizune.

Image: ...

Image: Hicchan, are you busy right now?

Image: Busy going to my room, yeah. See you two tomorrow!

I try to make a break for it, but Shizune is too agile to get past. As someone who used to play soccer, this is embarrassing. Not to mention that this behavior is drawing some odd looks. I should just quit while I'm ahead.

Image: ...

Image: Wahaha~! That too!
Hicchan, could you please go upstairs and get a few things for us from the art room?

Image: Why me?

Image: Hahaha~! Shicchan thinks that if the art teacher sees us, he will say hi, and she doesn't like him!


Image: Ignore him.

Image: ...

Image: She tried, but even though Shicchan is deaf, he'll try to say 'hi~!' anyway!

Image: Run away?

Image: ...

Image: "I never run!"

A tone of finality so strong that I can pick it up even through Misha. I can see there is no use pursuing this further with Shizune.

Image: Misha, why can't you get them?

Image: Stairs make me dizzy, Hicchan!

Image: ...

Shizune nods, as if to confirm it.

Image: Please, Hicchan? We need these things to build stalls for the festival, and you said you would help out a little, right?, right?

I really shouldn't, but I guess just this once would be all right.

Image: Okay.

Image: ...

Image: That's great, Hicchan! Thank you~!

Image: This is what we need!

She holds out a piece of paper for me to take.

I'm sure this list was made by Shizune. It's handwritten, but each letter is perfectly formed and uniform, as if it were typed. Not just that, but it's exhaustively detailed, complete with numbers, bullet points, and even little checkboxes.

What it boils down to is that she wants paint, paintbrushes, posterboard, and an easel. Just different types and specific numbers of each. I wonder how I'm going to carry all of this stuff down the stairs without breaking my neck.

-

Image

The painting I saw yesterday was still there. Someday, my blood-brother would have to face it in deadly combat to save the world.

Further down the corridor still with identical doors, are rooms that I didn't think were used for classes.

I guess the art room is not a classroom as such.

I carefully push open the furthest door, and peek in.

It's a classroom, but it seems rather badly kept or not in use. Am I in the right place?

Desks and chairs are all around the room, a thin layer of dust settled on them. There are some easels in the corner so at least this looks like the right place.

The room is flushed in sunlight from the big windows, shadows creeping all over the desks.

Specks of dust are dancing in the stagnant air, making the beams of light almost visible.

Jokingly, I call into the empty room.

Image: Anybody ho--

Something catches my eye and I stop mid-sentence.

BGM - Parity

Image

This odd way of dining seems to be caused by her apparent lack of hands, but her presence here is what takes me aback even more.

How did I miss her before? She's sitting in a corner very still, but I still somehow took her as a part of the furnishing or a statue at first glance.

Image: (mumble) Wow. That's some advanced next-generation personal stealth systems you're packing. Didn't even notice ya.

The girl seems to be frozen in place, staring at me with her huge eyes like a rabbit in headlights.

She's staring at me, her mouth wide open, ready to accept the fork.

I'm staring at her, my mouth wide open, suddenly remembering I didn't finish my sentence and trying to think if I should.

This weird stalemate keeps us both stunned into silence, punctuated only by the wall clock ticking rhythmically.

Image: Hello.

The girl stuffs the forkful in her mouth, and is now staring at me expectantly while chewing. This is a bit awkward.

Image: Umm... hello. I was told to pick up some supplies from here. For some festival stalls I think. I didn't think there would be someone here.

Image: There isn't. That's why I came here, too.

She picks up another forkful.

Image: Doesn't that mean you're here, then?

She raises her eyebrows as if she was suspecting my observation was false.

Image: You are pretty observant. I guess it does. But who are you?

This girl is pretty straightforward, isn't she?

Image: I'm Nakai, Hisao Nakai. I just transferred in on Monday.

Image: I'm Rin. Tezuka Rin. Rin Tezuka. Or if you're hardcore Japanese, you can call me Tezuka Rin.

WRONG.

Hanzo is the most interesting character in the game. He is, after all, FH's sexiest girl.

BGM - Parity

Image: I'm Rin. Tezuka Rin. Rin Tezuka.

Image: I won't shake hands with you, but at least we know who we are now.

Image: That's very nice.


Her deadpan manner of talking makes it hard to determine whether she's joking about shaking hands or not.

It kinda bothers me, joking about these matters doesn't feel appropriate at all.

While I'm trying to figure what's appropriate and whether this girl is, she seems to have lost interest in me and is now gazing yearningly back at her food.

Image: Can I continue my lunch? If you don't mind me, I won't mind you.

Image: If you need to get your stuff, the supplies are at the back.

Image: Go right ahead. But... lunch? School's already over for the day.

Image: What word would you use then? There is no word for a meal you eat after lunch but before dinner, right? It bothers me very much too, but I don't really know what I should say.

Image: I don't think you are supposed to eat a meal between lunch and dinner to begin with.

Image: But I'm hungry and my delicious boxed lunch would go to waste otherwise.

Image: I have curry. It's very delicious.

With much decisiveness, Rin once again picks up the fork between her toes and with at least as much impoliteness, she points it straight at me.

Image: So, Nakai, what brings you to this place?

Image: Like I said, I was told to look for these things.

Image: No, the school. From outside, you look fine. Is your problem inside?

I come to a full stop, opening my mouth but not getting a word out.

Image: I...

Image: I can guess. I am good at guessing. Better than most people.

Rin cuts me off before I can answer her question, or skirt around it somehow. I don't know which I would've done.

I froze in front of this issue again. I haven't even told anyone here about my condition, or maybe it's only because it hasn't really come up.

I do get the feeling that not making issues of this is a part of the social code here, as the teacher said.

I wonder if the people here could relate? Probably not any better than any normal person could.

I can't relate to Shizune's circumstances, or Lilly's, either.

Naturally, while I go through this in my head, Rin keeps considering what my condition could be, with an overtly contemplative look on her face.

She puts her fork between her lips and leans back, looking at the ceiling as if the answer was written up there.

A beam of light illuminates her face from the window side, creating a mask of dark shadow on the other side.

Image: I don't think it's anything in your head, and something in your guts would be boringly ordinary, like this lunch of mine. And less delicious.

Image: The problem must be in your pants!

Image

This messed-up Sherlock Holmes kind of statement and the sheer lack of tact it was delivered with catches me completely off guard.

I think I might've reeled back even physically as Rin's eyes widen in revelation and astonishment.

Image: So I was right! There's something wrong with your pingas tackle, isn't there?

Still partially in shock but recognizing the need to reply something, I spit out the first thing that I can think of.

Image: No! Nothing like that. I have a heart problem. Arrhythmia.

...

I said it. More like blurted it out, but I said it.

The girl in front of me purses her lips together and glowers at me, looking very disappointed.

Image: How boring. Trouble in the pants would have been much more scandalous.

What's with this reaction?

Image: I'm sorry to let you down.

Image: I forgive you. Just, I collect people and a person with, you know, that kind of problem would've been really great.

Image: Collect people?

Image: People with different problems.

Image: Huh, so you just... like, go around asking people what's wrong with them?

Image: Pretty much.

Image: I see.

...

Image: I wanna be the very best!

Image: Like no one ever was!?

Image: To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause!

Image: She'll travel across the land, searching far and wide!

Image: Each pokemon to understand, The power that's inside!

[Chorus]
Image: The power that's inside!
Image: The power that's inside!
Image: The power that's inside!

Image: Pokemon! it's you and me! I know it's my destiny.

Image: Pokemon! Oh you're my best friend, in a world we must defend!

Image: Pokemon! a heart so true! Her courage will pull us through!

Image: You teach me and I'll teach you, Pokemon! gotta catch'em all!

[Chorus]
Image: Pokemon! gotta catch'em all!
Image: Pokemon! gotta catch'em all!
Image: Pokemon! gotta catch'em all!

....

With little left to say, Rin resumes her lunch and the conversation dies away, but I keep thinking about what she said.

It's the first time I told anyone else about my condition. All the other people have either known about it already, or heard about it from someone else.

Or didn't need to know about it, like every other student here, so far.

Should I have told it as a natural part of introductions? Is it expected of me?

"Hi, I'm Hisao. I have a very serious heart condition."

Is that how I'm supposed to go around introducing myself from now on?

As if our disabilities would define us. What a disgusting thought.

Or maybe this Tezuka girl just has an unnatural interest in such things.

BGM - Raindrops and Puddles

As I walk to the back of the room to pick up the items on Misha's list, a chance opens to study Rin from the corner of my eye.

Her hair is a burnt auburn, almost orange, and cropped short. Long hair would probably be impossible with no arms.

The boy's uniform and the lack of arms makes her look very thin, almost scrawny.

She is not particularly pretty except for her murky green eyes which flicker restlessly from below her short bangs, even when she eats.

The distance and the shadows make it seem like they don't reflect sunlight at all, but instead absorb all of it within them like deep wells.

She moves her feet almost as deftly as a normal person would use their arms.

However, I can see how this sight could discomfort people, especially while eating. It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable at least.

I hesitate to think about the word unnatural but it's too late now, isn't it?

I keep searching the cabins and shelves for Misha's things, but after enough time passes the silence grows too uncomfortable, so I try to force some conversation out of this strange girl.

Image: So, do you always eat alone and this late? Or do you get the occasional visitor?

Image: Visitors... maybe you are my first occasional visitor. But I don't always eat alone either.

Image: Sometimes I eat with a certain person on the roof, if she's not horsing around.

Image: Horsing?

Image: She likes to do sports.

Image: Oh.

And that's all I can think of to say.

Both of us fall silent again as Rin forks the last bits of her meal to her mouth.

I look down at my haul and double check it with Misha's list. It seems like I have everything except plywood.

Image: Umm... so, I think I have all the things now.

Image: That's very nice for you. Don't feel obliged to stay. I was about to take a nap anyway.

Image: You need to do whatever you are going to do with that stuff anyway, right?

Image: Or perhaps you like to watch girls sleeping? :errg

Image: Ehh...

I'm not sure what to make of this, but Rin looks serious.

Image: Even if I did, I think I have to be going.

Image: I... I'll catch you around, Tezuka.

Image: You can call me Rin.

Image: I feel that our relationship is at this point good enough to warrant this much.

I was already turning to make my exit, but she draws me back in.

Image: Fine, then I'm Hisao.

Image: Then you are.

...

Rin looks at me hard in the eyes but that intimidating feeling you get when someone stares at you isn't there.

It's like she's actually not looking at me at all.

She blinks a couple of times, and I can't figure out why a pause like this just popped between us out of nowhere.

Image: See you later, Hisao.

There is something like a tiny smile there in her face, maybe.

I quietly back out of the room. As I shut the door in front of my face, I whisper to myself.

Image: What an intriguing person...

From inside, I hear a muffled, sing-song voice:

Image: I heard tha~t!

As I turned away, I smash into something. Hard.

Image

Image: AUGH!

Bad move. I suddenly felt my heart palpitations kick in. Misha's grin turns to a look of horror as I fall to my knees, gasping for breath.

The darkness rushes into my eyelids as Misha's screams fade away.

X_X
DED.
